Weng Quan's strange behavior was naturally noticed by others. Everyone was on guard against the person in front of them, and even the people Weng Quan brought kept their distance.
Hiding behind cover, Qin Chuan realized that Weng Quan's loss of control seemed to be directed only at him.
Although Xu An had kicked away the firearms from Weng Quan's hands, Weng Quan did not even spare Xu An a glance. He continued to stare fixedly in Qin Chuan's direction.
Xu An on this side also had a solemn expression. The City Lord had been escorted to safety by bodyguards.
Qin Chuan also immediately arranged for people to escort the City Lord away.
Although the City Lord's role was no different from that of a mascot, this person absolutely could not die.
At least not die here.
As long as this person lived, it would at least maintain the false peace on the lighthouse. However, if this person were to die here.
Not to mention the true cause of death, it would eventually become a blemish on Qin Chuan.
Everyone present had this thought to some extent, yet they had miraculously reached a strange harmony.
Xu An stared intently at Weng Quan, unsure if Weng Quan had been subjected to some psychological suggestion.
However, a strange intuition told her that what was happening to Weng Quan might be more than just psychological suggestion.
Xu An attempted to communicate with Weng Quan.
"Weng Quan, Weng Quan? Calm down, put down the gun first. We can still discuss anything."
But the next moment, Weng Quan's expression twisted in pain.
His face showed moments of aimless confusion, followed by cunning malice.
No one could understand what kind of internal struggle Weng Quan was undergoing.
Xu An knew that her words were useless, but she did not truly expect to be able to make Weng Quan completely clear-headed with just a few words.
Since the mastermind had targeted Weng Quan, this matter was unlikely to be resolved so easily.
Seeing Weng Quan's increasingly frenzied expression, Zhou Haimei also felt a shock in her heart.
"An'an, how does it feel like Weng Quan can't hear anything we're saying?"
It was clear that Xu An had also noticed this.
Whether it was her or the researchers accompanying Weng Quan, when they spoke to Weng Quan, he didn't even cast a glance in their direction.
But this was clearly impossible.
If someone spoke in your ear, even if you could choose not to be disturbed, your gaze, your thoughts, or even your body language could prove that you were listening to the other person.
Even if there was loud noise around you that affected your judgment of surrounding sounds, you would instinctively search for the source of the sound.
But Weng Quan's actions and expressions from beginning to end were as if he were isolated in his own world.
No one could affect him.
Even if Weng Quan did not trust Xu An and refused to listen to her explanations.
However, the people Weng Quan brought with him could not possibly not listen to them.
After figuring this out, Xu An quietly called out to Qin Chuan not far away.
"Be careful, Weng Quan's expression is very wrong. He might be controlled by someone."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan instinctively looked towards Chu Yu.
It wasn't that he was being strange; it was simply that Chu Yu had a serious prior record.
Looking at Chu Yu, who had blended into the crowd and was temporarily untraceable, Qin Chuan could do nothing.
Weng Quan's madness continued.
As long as Qin Chuan dared to show his head, Weng Quan would immediately and accurately aim for his head.
If not for the inappropriate timing, Qin Chuan would have wanted to recruit him based on his marksmanship.
Qin An dared not show himself now. He couldn't find Chu Yu to question, and he had to rely on Xu An's prompts to dodge Weng Quan's shots time and again.
No one was more miserable than him.
Qin Chuan felt that in his more than twenty years of life, he had never been so humiliated.
He decisively pulled back the safety and was about to shoot Weng Quan in the head.
But he was unanimously stopped by those around him.
"Captain Qin Chuan, you can't shoot. Dr. Weng Quan has important research projects. He can't die."
Weng Quan's employees looked terrified.
The moment they saw Qin Chuan pull out his gun, they had already thought about where they would be exiled by the lighthouse in the future.
Although Weng Quan had some abilities, his selfishness and pettiness were well-known in the laboratory.
In the laboratory, he only admired and trusted one person.
That was Xia Jin.
Apart from Xia Jin, Weng Quan would not share all his scientific research data with others.
Even when he led a team on a project, he provided incomplete data to each member.
This was to prevent team members from colluding and stealing core data.
Perhaps it was a case of being bitten by a snake and fearing wells for ten years.
Weng Quan was wary of teams he had painstakingly led himself.
When they obtained core research data and should have enjoyed the rich fruits of their labor, they were informed that he had been kicked out of the laboratory.
Ten years ago, Weng Quan had made such a mistake and was subsequently removed from the core team.
But it was also on that day.
Weng Quan completely shattered his trust and kindness towards others.
Qin Chuan's hand, holding the gun, trembled with a strange and intense force for the first time since he had held a gun.
Under the persuasion of countless people, Qin Chuan wavered for the first time.
When faced with a threat to his own life, Qin Chuan could not even resist.
He knew that Weng Quan currently held a transcendent position on the lighthouse, and his rationality told him.
Weng Quan was someone who could not be killed now.
But facing Weng Quan's mad shooting, Qin Chuan was extremely indignant.
In his life, he had been pointed at with a gun countless times.
He had never yielded.
But today, Qin Chuan truly wanted to throw away the morality, sense of justice, overall perspective, and sense of responsibility from his body.
He wanted to kill this idiot Weng Quan right here without any regard.
But he couldn't.
Even the City Lord, who had already evacuated, was giving him instructions via communicator.
Weng Quan's situation was somewhat abnormal. He would find someone from the laboratory to resolve Weng Quan as soon as possible and tell him not to act impulsively.
The implication was more than obvious.
Everyone present knew.
Weng Quan could not die here today.
Xu An saw a kind of reckless madness in Qin Chuan's eyes.
But that madness appeared for a very short time.
Like fireworks blooming, it flashed past.
Without leaving any trace, it was quickly replaced by reason.
But in that very second.
Xu An was certain that Qin Chuan had wanted to kill Weng Quan.
However, Qin Chuan used his last shred of reason to suppress the violent desires in his heart.
Xu An looked at the strange "three-legged stand" situation before her.
Suddenly, she thought of something even more terrifying.
